From Maria Elena Video de Ovalle:
In 1956 Dr. Jorge Vides Molina bought a piece of land named La Bolsa; it was given that name because it is located between large mountains. It has its own spring water, and two rivers go across the property, leaving an island of the patio where we dry our coffee, the mill, farmhouse, and school.
One of our strong features is that we have our own natural spring water, which while we use it we are also able to donate the surplus the Municipio La Mesilla, located at the border of Mexico.We support the environment by complying with all the prerequisites of the Certifications of Rainforest and C.A.F.E Practices.The farm also has hydroelectric power, and we work with earthworms for organic matter.
In the year 2002, we obtained second place at the national level of the Cup of Excellence, with a rating of 94.98.
In the year 2005, Finca La Bolsa was chosen by Anacafe-Huehuetenango to impart a documentary with the German Channel D W T V, with the purpose of filming the process of high quality coffee production in Guatemala, which was viewed worldwide.
